The Pfauen located opposite the Kunsthaus on Heimplatz/Rämistrasse, is the largest stage of the Schauspielhaus. By architectural design, the Pfauen is a proscenium theatre seating up to 750 people on various levels – stalls, circles and box seats. The programme presents ten new productions per season, and there is a show almost every day on the stage of the Pfauen. Alongside famous classics from different periods – antiquity, Shakespeare’s era, German classicism and classical modern period – also new contemporary pieces and world premieres are part of the Pfauen repertoire.

In the basement of the Pfauen, the Schauspielhaus runs another small theatre – the Kammer: redeveloped in 2006 it was newly furnished to seat 70 people. Young directors and assistant directors are being offered the opportunity to develop their own signature working with members of the ensemble.
